Citizens blocked the highway near the Sava Center congress in the New Belgrade district today, a reporter for the Serbian newspaper Blic reported, quoted by BTA. Protesters allow only ambulances and fire engines. Slavia Square, the Gazelle Bridge and the Pancevo Bridge are also blocked in Belgrade.
Several environmental groups have staged protests demanding the release of all those arrested during previous demonstrations, the withdrawal of the Expropriation Act and the Referendum and People’s Initiative Act.
In the previous action, the blocking of the movement caused serious shocks among the public, and in some places there was a physical altercation.
Reporters from the Blic newspaper from several cities in Serbia reported that traffic was also blocked in their cities.
